Participants are asked to bring one or more of the following for Fredericksburg Elementary School children in need: shampoo (store brand), plain black, blue, or gray unisex cotton elastic-waist sweatpants (children’s sizes small, medium, and large), and plain cotton t-shirts, no designs  (children’s sizes small, medium, and large).  Pastor Travis Meier will be collecting these outside each church visited, beginning with St Mary’s.

Zion Lutheran Church is on Main Street and one block west of St Mary’s.  Cross at the traffic light only! This event goes back at least 30 years and is sponsored by the local Ministerial Alliance.

Bethany is an easy stroll east on Austin Street.  Watch out for cars, not everyone knows about this! Each program will include 10-15 minutes of music and devotion.  This year’s theme is “People of Advent and Christmas.”

We cross Main Street again, and only at a traffic light. The congregation of Holy Ghost Lutheran Church will provide refreshments at the conclusion of the Walk. You don’t need a map. If you don’t know where to go next, just follow the crowd. You can join in anywhere and drive from one church to the next, if necessary. Come celebrate Christmas the Fredericksburg way!
